Has anyone else had a problem with the intake maifold shutter valve emission recall?
I have a ticking noise coming from my engine & back in Dec when I got the recall notice I thought "nice! mazda's fix, not mine". I took my car in & they ran the test-Only when I picked it up they said that my car did not need the recall. At the time I didn't think much of it.
Recently I took my car in to a trusted mechanic(non mazda dealership) to inspect my ticking engine. My diagnosis was the noise was coming from the maifold shutter valves!! So I called Mazda & their advice was to take it another dealership if it was to be covered under the recall.
The second dealership looked at my car for 10 minutes & came back saying the noise was probably a lifter problem not the recall.
I feel like I'm being screwed. I don't understand how the first dealership said the test on the recall would take a minimum of 4 hours & the second took 10 min?
what is going on here?
